Making a demo

Sparki

Hiya,
Just wondering has anyone any advice on recording a demo?? I have recorded before in a home studio but im looking to record something a bit more proffessional in the next two or three months. Just wondering if anyone could recoommend a particular studio??I have looked into a fe, but its hard to differenciate them all from eachother.... Im a singer/songwriter but without a band so i would probably need session musicians so thats also something to consider,
Anytips/advice or reccommendations would be appreciated!
Sparki

Most studios can get your music up to a fine standard these days, hence the lack of variation in price. You'll be look at around 300 euro per day wherever you go. It's more about getting the right engineer than the right studio. Make sure you get on well with them and you should be fine.

If you're going to be playing with session musicians, you'd better make sure you all know the songs well in advance of recording. Practice like a ************ until those tunes are down. You have to know exactly what the songs are going to be like, where every little part begins and ends and how each instrument is going to sound before you go in, otherwise it'll turn into a big frantic mess.

But relax and enjoy it. Recording is fun and makes you feel about as professional as you can as a musician. Oh, and if you're only going to be recording for a day or two, don't bring any beer into the studio!

Thanks for all the replies, still looking around....would love to have it done before end of February,so i can start gigging more after that. Just wondering if anyone has experience with session musicians...I imagine it would take quite long to teach all the songs before you even begin to record...?
